  Speaker 2: Like what Paulie the Parrot or Peter the Plan.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it doesn't matter.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It's something that has nothing to do with clipping.

  Speaker 1: a die hard Vikings fan, but I'm also a huge
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: NBA guy and I see the Sonics hat on you,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and it's hard. I'm going to come back to that
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: because I will derail an entire football show talking about
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Sean Campen, the tragedy that your city doesn't have a team.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about my parents' divorce first.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: You want to really just build up to the extreme
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: sadness that has filled the late two thousands.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Of my life.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm a Diard Seattle sports fan, you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: speaking of football, and just you know, I know that's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: what we're here to discuss. But in the matchup between
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: my Hawks and your Vikes on Sunday, which is a
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: way bigger game for us.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Than it is for you guys, I don't.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know you guys are trying to secure
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: home field, but you know we are trying to not
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: blow the division and and not slipping as a wild
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: card again, which doesn't we just that's not our route.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I guess it was our route the first Super Bowl year.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Oh wait, no, it wasn't.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: We had home field advantage there, so you you always
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: want to the fans are the twelves as we call
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: him are are definitely a factor. But I was just
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: up in Seattle last week for the Green Bay game.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You know, John Schneider, our GM is a good buddy
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: of mine, and he saw a video of me roasting
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the Steelers last August. They had hit me up because
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I was doing shows at the Improv out there, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they're like, do you want to come in a day early?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We have our rookie talent show and we'd love you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: to host it. So I got all these roast jokes.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I thought that was just me be the rookies. It's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the whole squad. Tomlin's in there, Russ and Fields are
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: front row. I had one Russ joke and Russ laughed,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and I was like.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Russ laughed, We're fine. And every time I do a
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: joke that people grown dad, I'd be like, Russ liked it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you guys. But so
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: then Schneider was like, you got to do that for
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the Hawks. So I went up there and did it
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning, which is a great time for comedy, like
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: eight forty five, after their quick morning meeting.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And it was awesome though.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Man, I had had a great moment with DK, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it was my first time meeting Mike McDonald and he's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: just a stud and and and had been following me
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: for a bit, so he's a comedy guy. And I
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: go DKs here, everyone goes, oh, go to his birthday, K,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: what do you want for your birthday?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: He goes, No more jokes out of your.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Ass, and everybody's like oh, and I go, well, strap up, bitch.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I got twenty logged.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: And loaded and then we just kind of went down
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the line on most of the players, but they were
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: all like great sports about it. I'm probably gonna post
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: some clips to that and the next week or so,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: depending on if we win Sunday and can ride some momentum.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: But yeah, dude, diehard.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Hot is that? Like? So we had Al Madrigal was
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on earlier this year, and you know, he's like lifelong Niners,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and so he did something similar for the Niners and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: they liked it so much that they had him come
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and roast. This is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Al roasted the NFL owners at Super Bowl Week, which
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: is I can't imagine a worst job in his Like you,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I'd rather host, and I'd liked rather host for like
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: an execution than roast owners of an NFL team. But
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like when you got to do that, Like, was that surreal?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Was there any Like? It's such a unique environment when
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you cross I've found this like when you take comedy
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: into sports, sometimes it's incredible, and sometimes you realize how
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: seriously the sports world takes itself and there's kind of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: it's all kind of dictated by the vibe up top.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So I assume Schneider and all the people in Seattle
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: are really great.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: They really set the tone for sure.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: They were like the team is also young and loose,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and it was you know, Friday was a day we
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: considered doing, but they were still in gom as far
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: as like beat the Packers, and Saturday it was more like,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you know, a light morning walkthrough and then this meeting,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and it was day before and they had most of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the day off the chill, so it was just more conducive.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: To for me to be up there slinging jokes.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I also, you know, energy plays a big part of it,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: like the way you get into it. I mean, I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: can't imagine roasting the owners in general, but like you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I like to really get them to have some idea
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: of who I am before I start doing that, and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: build some rapport before you start.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: That's just my comfort level with any sort of ROW situation.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I gotta you know, kind of break the room up
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: first before I just get up there and have it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: There'd be a separation, you know, just break the fourth wall.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Really, but they were all good sports man and yeah,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it was I was nervous as
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: hell because they're my team.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: The Steelers one I wasn't really nervous for because I
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: was like, yeah, they don't like me.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Who gives a But I wanted so badly for these
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: guys to, you know, not to like end up best
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: friends with them.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But like you can say, you want the like it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a weird I like you when you get in it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: something weird no matter what you've done. When you're near
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: one of your favorite teams from when you're a kid,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you just don't want to look like a doufist man.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: You don't want you want to have them at least
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: be like what's up man? When they see you next time.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: It's uh, yeah, for sure.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: It's a weird amount of like self pressure totally.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And you know, Schneider did a good job set me up,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and also he he was so pumped forward that it
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: didn't really make me feel nervous about what was happening.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It's definitely one of those things where you go you
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: have to just like prepare, you know.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: When I can tell that I'm nervous for something, it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: because I'm not as prepared as I should be or
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: want to be. So I definitely lost sleep for a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: few nights, staying up, just reorganizing jokes, rewriting stuff, you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: memorizing a lot more than I had planned on, because
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to just be reading from a paper
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: and even just the way into it, I thought about,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you know, doing it as doctor Phill this time, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: that might be a next time thing, but or even
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: like an old coach, you know, doing some character.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: But it was cool just to do it as my
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: as myself.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And you know, that's there is such a tough thing
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: with you see it on the SP's all the time
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: when they cut to athletes. You know, athletes are still people.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: They have a sense of humor like everybody, but you're right,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: there is a level of seriousness that they just they're
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: in such like you know, go mode and kill mode
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: all the time that like you have to catch them
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: in these moments when they do have their guard down
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit to be able to laugh at not
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: only life but themselves. And uh and some guys just can't.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: But like again, it's always the same thing. Why I
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: never try to point my finger at a crowd and
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: be like it's you know, it's it's what a crowd.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: It's like dude, they're there, you know, so they want
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: to laugh.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And even in a situation like that, even though they're
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: not coming out to it's like, you know, the meeting
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: was the meeting, and I was a surprise.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: They didn't know that I was going to be there.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: But you got to just you know, be prepped, trust
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: yourself and just you know, throw hail Mary's on first
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: down because like you uh, there's it's it's go bigger,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: go home with that stuff because you'd rather, like you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: have them not like what you think is funny, yeah,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: but like not go all the way. And then and
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: then they be like, dude, this guy didn't even go
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: for it. Like more often than not, I realized in
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: these situations they want you to do that and they're
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: bummed if you didn't because they're like, oh, I thought.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I thought we were getting the real guy here.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, totally. I mean even when the when.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Hugson and and Uh and Donald and a handful of
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: your guys's Lineman's and Johnny Muttin and everybody came out
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to h my shows at act me like, you know,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I was hitting the bikes for a little bit too,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and making fun of Donald and.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: And and they were all loved it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And it was like, yeah, I wasn't gonna not like
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna give them a shout out that they
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: were there and you know, put them on blast, but like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: just let them know that I knew that, you know
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: that I was pumped that they were there.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I think you know, you said something
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: really interesting. I think the difference between the celebrity that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is an athlete and the celebrity that is an actor,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you know, a community, these other things, like it's such
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a definable good versus bad where like you're in a movie,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: right and or somebody comes to see Doctor Phil live.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: There's no points, there's no like somebody can have an
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: opinion one way or another, but you can't definitively say
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: somebody sucks or is amazing. And sports is so defined
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: by a win and a loss and a score. Yeah,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: but it's probably a lot harder to not take stuff
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: about you seriously when you can't argue back, like you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: just don't like my art, bro.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's a great point.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, we we definitely, we definitely have a
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: An easier you know, once you can swallow that it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: all subjective pill it's a healthier way to live.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: But you're right, like sports, it's just like stats.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Like wins, money kind of dictates, it dictates how how
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: successful you are. Right everybody reacts now every yeah and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: what job you get and what job you don't get?
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And I mean, let me ask.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: You this, uh Sam, when I was in UH Minnesota
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: in September, and you know, he was maybe two games
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: that you guys were maybe three and oh or or
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: four to oh, and you were definitely rolling.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: And but it was so early that he was like,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: you know, look.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I you know, we we we we love it here
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and you know, we we don't know. Everyone's telling me
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to brave for the winner, and we don't know what
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: we're getting ourselves into.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: But but he's like, you know, it's great, We're clicking.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Jefferson's one of the best, you know, guys I've ever
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: played with, and kept saying how he got his PhD
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: in football at San fran and just really, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: grew up and matured and learned that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Like because I.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Was like, I keep hearing this on uh in the media,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: but like when you hear from a source and he's like, well, dude,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I just like got to a place was like, oh,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I don't have to like force things, and like it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: okay to like eat the ball or throw it away
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and like get it on the next one. He's like,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: but everybody, you feel so much pressure to like make
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: something happen on every play. And he's like, once I
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: kind of like subscribe to that. It's kind of calmed
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: him down. And and and you know, obviously like faith
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: and trust to be able to sit in the pocket
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: like that goes a long way. But he was like, uh, yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: we'll see. He's like, I gotta keep balling out and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: they got to want to like keep me. So I
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: can't imagine the conversation over there is anything but how
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: much and how long? Because like and you know, it's
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: not like you have to get rid of McCarthy, but
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: unless you want to trade him to my Seahawks, but
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: like you definitely like I can't. If you guys didn't
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: resign Sam, I would I would. I think I would
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: think the fan base would be like, what the are
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: we doing?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: What?
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: What?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: What's the move here?
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It's really interesting because I mean he has an outrageous
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: universal like approval rating here and as he should, and
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: it's been so so fun to watch him play. I remember,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you know you're talking September. I remember being at camp
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: this summer, and this is before it's open to the public,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: before it's open to really media. They're just going through stuff.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And you know, I've been lucky enough to be there
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a lot, and this is this is no slight on
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: anybody or even any commentary on anything. His presence was
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: one of, Oh, this is just a dude. This is
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: just a dude who, like I'm I mean, unassuming in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the best way, right confident, but just like you could
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: he'd walk he could walk by you in a hallway
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: with a couple of players and it wouldn't like switch
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the room, you know what I'm saying. He was just there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: You could you could tell he came in really excited
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: off of San Francisco to be in a situation with
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: koc Here. It's almost amazing to think it's the same
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a similar offense as the last couple of years, because
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: when you see this dude's arm and the way like
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: when he's really feeling it, like I don't know how
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: many guys make that throw, and so to have it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: be that, dude, compared to the Chase, you know, the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: feeling ghost guy from New York, it's as somebody who
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: loves a comeback and like a vindication story. Dude, it's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: so cool. I can't imagine there's a guy in the NFL.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And I'm biased, but that that has a better root
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: for him factor.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, yeah he. I mean he also just is doubted.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I mean I tried to get him to go to
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the show on that Friday night before you guys were
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: in Green Bay and and and he was like, dude,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I gotta be asleep by nine because we got this
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: in the morning. And I was just like, dude, get
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: after it, man. I mean, he just was like, I'm down.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: He was showing us plays and he read a few
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: and they made no sense. I mean, he read one
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: play that he would read in the huddle and it
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: was like, you know, you know QX five, you know
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: q it on, you know Panera times five, you know
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: you know Baron Trump, you know bar Mitzvah sidekick Break.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: And I was like, dude, there's no way I could
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: remember any of that. And he said it's so articulately
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: and casually and I was like, man, this like, but
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I guess it's like, you know, it's a comedy. Like
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: he's probably like, how do you memorize your jokes? How
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: do you write an act, how do you whatever? But
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and I said this the other day. I did these
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: two shows in San Jose at the Improv and I'd
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: found this picture of when I first headlined there when
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I was two years in in two thousand and nine,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and you know, barely sold any tickets, and now went
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: back fifteen years later and sold out two shows on
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a Wednesdays, you know, a thousand peeps. And it was
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: cool to kind of have that contrast. And and I
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: just kind of put in the caps. I was like, dude,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: it happens. When it happens, just don't stop. And a
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: buddy hit me up and was like, dude, this is
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: my new favorite quote. And I was like, yeah, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: didn't want to get too sentimental or douchey with the post,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: but I didn't want to comment.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, it's on that kind of a
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: look back.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And Sam is a great example of that, where it's like, dude,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: the system that he was in the last few years
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: in different spots were just like there's so many factors,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: especially in sports too, that need to like line up
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: for you to be successful, and like you can control
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: what you can control, but there's just so many other
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: outlying variables and it's just awesome that you guys have
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: so many, you know, every positions covered.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Your fan base is wild.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: You're like foaming at the mouth, you know, for for
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: something great, just so you can forget about Blair Walsh
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and like you just like eat something. Yeah, I mean
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: that you want to talk about Seahawks Viking matchup.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I was in Saint Louis at a bar.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: And h and when and I was like, oh, dude,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: well this you know, this isn't our year man, Like
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: you know, I think that was twenty fifteen, right, So
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: after our Super Bowl loss, we were going back and
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I was like we were a wild card and then
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: uh Man and then we signed him the next year,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: which is like going to a strip club and the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: stripper gives you ganarrhea and herpies and you go back
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the next night and you're like, I think I'm in
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: love with you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: It's like, what do you do?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, the Seahawks are are looking good. We need
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: this w Sunday. I didn't realize how much I was
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: into football until most fans looked at this year as like,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: all right, we're hitting the reset button.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: We already rebuild mode, and just like Pete Carroll's.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Done every year, we just find a way to stay
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: competitive and stay active and be like, you know, a disruptor,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: and winning four in a row is huge. Losing last
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: week sucked, clearly, but this is the rebound game and
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I do not want it to come down to ram
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Seahawks in LA because McVeigh scares me. I think he's on.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: I think he likes you four locos in the shower
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: before he goes out. He definitely looks like a kid
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: that like cheated at at at Twister. He definitely was
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a kid that held the gun up to the TV
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: when he played duck Hunt and then bragged about how many.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Bathes he got. He also looks like he charges you
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: money to eat candy at his house.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: He also looks like he like I don't know, he
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: looks like a strip club DJ and grand theft auto.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: He just he's got a I don't know, like his beard.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I don't like his bulgy eyes. He's he looks like
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: a karate dojo that brags about setting the record for
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: most boards broken in a grocery.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Store parking lot.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: He just everything about Sean McVay sucks, and I hope
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the Rams fall apart. Now that being said, I do
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: root for your Vikings, not only because Darnold's a homeboy
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: mine homeboy.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: That's the first time I've said that.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: No, I think that really that really worked.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I want want to say home meet or that's my boy,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and I said homeboy.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Homeboy actually probably would have worked better than both those.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I actually felt like it landed, all right.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: It's all, it's all. It's you know, you got to
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: say stuff like you mean. It gotta have conviction. You
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: act like you've been there before. You know, like, I'm
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: sure the first time you went to a Vikes game,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: you know, you weren't as comfy as you are now, right,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: people weren't as familiar with you.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: You're walking in, They're like, dude, Dahmer has a brother, Right.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: There's zero percent they still don't want me in there.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I'm convinced.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: What is have you?
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: What's your I guess favorite Viking experience? That again, you
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: have a flashback to each time.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I've told this on this show before, but I've never
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: told it to you. So they we got to I
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: was on the sidelines for a game, and I didn't
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: grow up going to games man. We grew up rural.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: We didn't travel to the cities, we didn't go to anything.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So this is I'm like, gee, golly, pa, like big
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: old wow. So and it's the Brett Favre and uh,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: he's like backing up as he's doing warm ups. And
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: we were with somebody who was important in the organization
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: and a family member who knew that somebody whatever, whatever, whatever,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and we got introduced to Farv and I just sure,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I just said the word gun slinger to him, and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that's it. The only thing I said to him. Should
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: have been banned from the Twin Cities at that point. Hey,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a straggly sociopath saying the word gun
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: slinger to our most important player. You want to get him,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: you want to put him in Wisconsin for a month.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's probably my roughest moment.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: You can't Bret Farv. The guy is rock solid.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I think he's you know, he's done more, you know,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: for he's done more for the game of football and uh, yeah, dude,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: what a gun?
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Gunslinger was the right term?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Doing it was the right term. It just didn't land well.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: It was the right term. I just didn't where you
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: just said homeboy, You're like, this is a word I use.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I said it like somebody whispered it in my ear
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and told me it was the right thing to say
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to him.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Let's go. You know, I met your, I met your
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: is a PA announcer.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I believe in Paul Allen.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Is that his name?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Yep?
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Voice of Voice of God yep.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And coolest voice in the league yep.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah dude, he Uh.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I was doing this podcast with Mark Sanchez, uh, Fox
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: analyst former Jets, Eagles Brogos QB.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Mark and I both went to ask see like Sam
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: and uh.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: We interviewed Sam on the podcast That's how I became
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: homeboys with him years ago, and Mark and I went
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: to do the show.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: At the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: We had on Jason Kelce pre uh late night talk
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: show and fandom and and just you know, Miles Teller
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: before Top Gun and just we're hitting everybody. It was
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: gonna be a great thing. And then Showtime Sports eventually
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: was like you know, we don't want any comedy.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: We just want the x's and nose, which just sucked
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: the fun out of it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: That's something that aged poorly as a decision. By the way,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: bro we we we did.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: We would make bets every week and one of them
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I got to get had to get my chest waxed
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: in Orlando at the Pro Bowl, and it was just
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: it was just fun, man and Marks such a silly
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: uh goof but like just with an amazing football IQ
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and so and so we were down in Orlando and
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I met Paul at a bar and he made a
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: video for me for Nick Swartzon, who's a Minnesota boy
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: and he likes and uh dude, he just I remember
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: being so in awe because I'm gonna be a baseball
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: broadcast when I was a kid, and and so just
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: to hear people with like voices like that. And then
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: he did a bunch of like calls and stuff and
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: and and I should hit them up because you know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: this was I don't know if this was twenty six seventeen,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: maybe twenty eighteen, and so like, definitely, you guys have
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: been competitive forever, but that was definitely the Cousins era.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: But as it was starting, Yeah, I.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Mean, is there a is there something with the fans
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: where you know, I always ask people this when you
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: get close and don't make it, would.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: You rather that? Or like not even have that?
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Because like for the Niners, it's like, dude, they've lost
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: what three out of the last six Super Bowls or whatever,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: and it's like, would you rather get there.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: And have that happen or not even get there?
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And as a fan, like for the Seahawks, we've gone
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I think we went ten years in a row to
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: the playoffs with Russ after the Super Bowls and it
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: was awesome because every Sunday mattered, And that's all I
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: asked for as a fan, is like to be in
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: a place to where like you can watch the games
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and actually get a little emotionally invested, which is tricky
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: for fans. I remember and the Seahawks won the first
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl in twenty thirteen, and I went with my
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: boy Brad Williams, who's a dire Broncos fan.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: He's also a Dwarf, and.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Were sitting there and it was like fifteen nothing and
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: then Percy Harvin ran back to kick off to start
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the second half. Brad looks down I take a picture
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: he was about to cry, and he goes, you might
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: not want to post that. If a Dwarf cries at
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the super Bowl and it's public, it's seven years bad luck.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: And I was like, so.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Funny, And I forgot how emotionally invested you get into
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: your team as a fan to where I was like
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: accepting partial responsibility.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: People were like, dude, congrats in the super Bowl, congrats.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I had no problem accepting partial like response, I was like, dude,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: thank you. In those fifteen beers, I had a half
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: I think gave Marshawn the extra boost he needed. But
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: you guys probably have that same delusion where you're like,
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: we are a reason the team stays consistent.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: But I also think that there's a lot of truth
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: to that. You know.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: To go back to your original question, which would I
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: rather have? I think I'd rather be close because I'm
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: like you, I like to be invested in something you know,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: because otherwise you get apathetic. But I also think the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: secondary answer to that, which is something that you have,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it's something that I have. It's not something that you know.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: It's something I lost. We didn't have with the North Stars,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and you didn't have with the Sonics. Is ownership that
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: cares about the community and winning. Yeah right, that's all
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: that sports is. And so I think more than getting close,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I think having like an ownership group that actually is
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: invested in winning a title and building in the community
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: in a way. Because you hear that with the Seahawks,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: people like to go be a part of that organization.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: They really like the way people talk about the Vikings organization.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: That to me is the big deal and the thing
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that allows you to reinvest because you're like, well, at
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: some point, at some point, it has to work out.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Now you here's my question back to you, because you
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: won that Super Bowl and then all of a sudden,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: it's like you guys entered into this almost new era.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: We're like, well, they're kind of just one of the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: franchises that they might have to rebuild, but they'll be back.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: You're just expected to be there. I mean, where were
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you at before that in that same regard, because it
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: was just years of misery with one hassleback miss like
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: you were us with less of a long history before
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: that Super Bowl.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you you know, when you don't have
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: a winning history. That super Bowl in twenty five against
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the Steelers. That was clearly rigged for Jerome Bettis to
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: walk off into the sunset. And even my Steeler fans
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: know that and will admit it slightly, But I mean
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that was nobody cared about the Seahawks. We were small
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: markets still our small market team, but it's the one
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: sport where we have made more of a.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Splash in the zeitgeist, but at least for the Northwest.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was a weird time because you're such
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: a you're such a die hard fan, but you're also
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: so aware of like, we're just not there.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of holes on the team.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: And and then we get home Grin and Hasselback was
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: actually a gangster, and then sewn Sander wins MVP and
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: then gets on the Madden cover and then gets the
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Madden curse, and then you know we had some you know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: great receivers and and then you.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Know it just it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Getting Marshawn was like a big deal. I don't think
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: it was like a huge signing, but it was a big.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: It's like a back to the future timeline shift getting him.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally, And honestly that happened under the Pete John regime.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Which you know, I went to USC one to five
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: for acting school, and Pete was our coach at that time.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: There was a thirty for thirty called Trojan War.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Which is basically about that time at USC, which is
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: just insane.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: And and so.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I felt like Pete was like almost like a secondary father,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: and because my left when I was young.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Thanks for bringing it up.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I really felt like attached because he was with us
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: for seventeen fourteen and Seattle and then you know what
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: three or four in SC and it was just a
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: really unique thing to be attached to somebody like that
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: sports wise, where you have so much emotional attachment and investment.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: And I was so pumped when he got there and
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: so bumped when he left. But he really, like, man,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it was so fun. I would I would listen to
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: I never listened to postgame conferences, but I'd watch Pete.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: All the time because he had this really.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Powerful, commanding, calm way of talking and so smart, and
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: so he loved it so much and loved the guys,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: and you know, ultimately it got to a point to
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: where I just don't think, you know, his what he
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: was doing was was resonating anymore, is what it sounded
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: like and people maybe weren't fighting to play for him
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the way that they were when he first got there.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: But man, did he I mean, you know, Schneider talks
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: about all the time. He's like he was just a
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: he changed the way that you know, everybody was looking
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: at the game and the whole culture and the practices
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: were on fire, and like people were you know getting
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: you know, just getting that defense, you know, grabbing a
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: lot of guys that had chips on their shoulders and
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: were you know, overlooked by so many teams, and then
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: just creating an environment where people could truly be themselves.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And I think Pete really shined like that, and almost
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: the same way Billy Bean with baseball and the whole
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: moneyball stuff kind of trickled down to other.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Teams participating in that outlook.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Pete was a real goat with that. But Seattle people
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: are now so you live and die. We also are
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: just you know, craving a super Bowl that will wash
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: away twenty fourteen, and that will that Every year that
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: goes by, we get a little bit more removed from
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: it emotionally and physically.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: But wow, dude, I'll.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Never I'll never forget where I was when that happened,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: or where I was when I was my coach. I
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: was a fact kid play basketball going to my coach
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: called me Krispy Kreme out George Jabar And I'll never
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: forget that either.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Two moments. Yeah, Pete Carroll, he's a Vikings alumni. We
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: love him here in Minnesota. And I think people you said,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you know, like his message wore out. I think it's
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: like kind of one of those things, like great bands,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: you like, unless you are literally the band right or
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones or one of these things, is somehow
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: escape that thing that puts a cap on your time period.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Like I think it's almost weird if you make it
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: that long and you're relating to like how many coaches
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL can say they captured
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: a period of time with a generation of players and
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: did like because you guys didn't just win a Super Bowl.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: And I think the travesty in that loss is that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: had you And this is how I feel about the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: ninety eight Vikings, Like, had they ninety eight Vikings one,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: we're sitting here talking about them as one of probably
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: the greatest teams of the last fiffty years. Had you
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: guys won that second Super Bowl, the term legion of
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: boom would be sitting right next to eighty five bears.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And not that it's not really highly regarded, but it's
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: just histories, narratives are defined by these little twists and turns,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and so to have presided over that in a way
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: where he changed the culture built it. He and Schneider
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: all that. That's like, good lord, you did that. Of course,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: I mean at some point you don't relate. That's kind
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: of that's I think it's almost unrealistic to do anything
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: other if you were that successful. It's like Phil Jackson
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: GMing in New York, like, of course you're gonna suck
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: at that.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Dude, right right, Yeah, it's it's a pretty rare thing,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: I think, to be as successful in a sport in
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: one spot like he was.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: And you know, true Testament a testament or testament A
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: true Testament?
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Let's go, first Testament?
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Why do I say? Why do I say a Testament?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: The New Testament? The Old Testament?
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: But I sometimes they'll say it when I go, I
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: don't think I've said that for like fifteen years, so
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: my mouth doesn't even know what to do.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: What's your favorite not to get all James lifted on you,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: But what's your favorite word?
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I think that is just a
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: testament to you, homeboy, and I think mine is juxtaposition.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I use that as though I know what it means,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and I use it all what it means. No, it'll
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: be in my divorce papers. She'd be like his. His
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: use of juxtaposition pushed me to this place.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's so funny. I'm a big I
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: like behoove.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, behoove it behooves you love, behoof.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Love A good behoove. Yeah, behooves you.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it would behoove to use an a sentence
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: spelling be style, it would behoove. The Minnesota Vikings front
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: office to resign Sammy Darnold to a ten year, four
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: hundred mil contract.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I want to ask you how this game goes.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: But the last thing I wanted to say on that
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: is I love. I mean, for somebody who didn't see it,
• 31:54

• 32:54
  Speaker 2: a recap of twenty twenty four.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Basically.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: The other reason people need to go to your Instagram
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: is cause your homeboy Sam Darnold literally is wearing an
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Adam Ray as Doctor Phil hooded sweatshirt on his way
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: to the Monday night whiteout game against Chicago Bears. I know,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: like you get to this point where your career grows,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you get to do these cool things Steelers, it's still
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: gotta be a weird moment, like because they just become
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: your friends and stuff. You're like, hey, the starting NFL quarterback,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: who's you know, weren't it not for Josh Allen is
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: probably the in the MVP conversation right now just has
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: my silly comedy hooded sweatshirt on that hat. That's such
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a cool thing when you think about who you were
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: as a kid and where you are now.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Totally.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I am such a sports fan and
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: such a you know, it is cool to be you know,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: to meet people that you look up to, and yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: you're right, I don't even.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I know how you know, well revered Sam.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Is but yeah, he's he's just a busted guy, so
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: I don't, you know, it's like I joke with him
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the way I joke with guys have known for twenty
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: years and and but but I.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Definitely, yeah, it's it's cool. But it's also he's a
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: big comedy fan, so it's like, you know, it's he.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Had been following me for a little bit when we
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: first met, and so for him too, he takes ownership
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and seeing me kind of you know, have a cool
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: last couple of years and just you know, have things
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: kind of elevate in a more fun direction. And uh
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: and yeah and so and I'm you know, almost like
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: a supportive mom the way I messaged him sometimes.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: After certain things that he does. And yeah, that was
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: a sweet shout out and he was looking like a snack,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: so that didn't hurt.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: You know, got to show the people of Minnesota that,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: you know, Aaron Rodgers isn't the only you know, guy
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: out there that's that you know, looks like you could
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: be Brad Pitt's cousin. But yeah, it's it's awesome man,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: and the doctor Phil Merch is so fun and people
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: really eat it fun. Trying to get Sammy to to
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: stick around hopefully and pop by that Orpheum show. But
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: he might be back in the OC at point. But
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: but who knows, if you guys take care of business,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: he might just you know, he might.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Just they might just have to pave cement over him
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: and turn him into a statue.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Dude, put the statue down now
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: and let him know how much you care. Like that,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: there's something to be said about the statue before you retire,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: right while you're playing. It really speaks volumes as far
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: as how much you are committed to this guy long term.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: If this team ever wins, because you guys have the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: statue of Lynch with the diving into the end zone backwards, right,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: isn't that the statue is there somewhere in Seattle.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: That I don't think we have. I don't think I've
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: seen any statues.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: We've got a Griffy and Egar Martinez statue outside of
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: T Mobile Park.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: If the Vikings ever win a Super Bowl, and if
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: there's any sort of defining moment in that Super Bowl run,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the amount of like, I think there'll be a city
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: council moving like we're gonna do a lot of statues.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna, you know, it'll look like when they
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: dig up like those terra Cotta warriors and an ancient civilization.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: That's what Minneapolis will look like when somebody finds our
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: city fifty thousand years from now. Yeah, yeah, just a
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: bunch of Sam Darnold's just with their you know, just
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: with their their helmet in their hand all over the place.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Dude.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: It's also cool that, you know, Sam obviously you know,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: looks like he's not old enough to be in the uh,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: you know stadium without his parents, so that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I think growing the beard was a sweet move on
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: his part.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Everyone moved made him look like he's on Yellowstone or
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: or place to poker with, you know, with uh some
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you know, shady guys from you know, like like like
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: he's friand like when you have a beard like that
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: and you still got like, you know, you know, a young,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: affable vibe to you. It's definitely like he reminds me
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: of some of those kids that used to hang outside
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: like the AMPM in high school. But Sam's got this
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: clean cut, you know, California vibe too that I think
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: everyone's vibing with. And there is a laid back style
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: to him as a person that definitely I see translating
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: on the field.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, he's in go mode. You guys are are lucky.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Well give me, I hate to do this to you,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: but give me a prediction for the weekend.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: So I'm captain positive.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I'm super optimistic about this weekend, even though I know,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: you know are the pressures.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: I think more on us. You guys are rolling. Confidence
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: is high. You know.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Sam got me sideline passes the last time he was
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: in lumen Field at Seattle when he was with the
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Panthers and they came in and took care of business
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: and then circle two years ago.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: I brought my eight year old nephew at the time,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: who've never been to.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: A Hawks game. Football is his favorite sport. He is
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: a little psycho. He doesn't have all the updates on
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: his hard drive. His favorite move now is to smack
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: me when I go home and go like and subscribe
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: and then run out of the room. Well, he giggles
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: to himself, and I asked my front of my stepdad.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: He is just like a little noodnick as my mom says,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: full of spitting vinegar. And I take him to his
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: first Seahawks game. He's so pumped. We get a hotel
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: down to the stadium. He's like, this is the greatest
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: hotel I've ever stayed in my entire life. I'm like, yeah,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I mean it's you know, it's a looking to their
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: you know, they they have them everywhere. There's there's blood
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: on your pillow, by the way, And so he's like,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: I went the bed closest to the window and he's
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: so pumped to go, oh to get a view of
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: the city. He's like, no, because if somebody breaks in
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: to kill us, they'll get you first. It's like all right,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: and you know, and and then we go to the
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: game and we're on the sidelines. Sam comes over and says,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: what up all this? And then rips the game. It
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: just takes takes us, you know, into h l territory.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: And at one point my nephew runs away to try
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: to catch a punt. There were practice punts going on
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: in these and it helped mine and it bounces off
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: his little hands and I was like, dude, you can't
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: break away from me like that. He's like, it was
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: going to hit a girl that was standing on the sidelines.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, dude, you're spitting game and trying to
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: grab a souvenir. Like we we go back to the
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: gift shop. He went a little blitz our mascot stuffed animal.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: We're driving back home. I go, dude, this was a
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: great day. Man, He's like, it's the greatest day of
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: my whole life.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I'm glad him. He's like, dude, I mean I never
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: get to hang with you enough.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I hang with your sisters, your twin sisters more because
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: they're older and and you know, usually don't smack me
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: in as much. And they're just you know, a little,
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: a little just cleaner as far as the give and take.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: And he goes, yeah, and thanks for getting me blitzed
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: the stuff the animal. I go, sure, I go, I
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: guess what, every time you look at it, you can
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: remind yourself of how great today was.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: And then he goes, yeah, maybe I'll give it to
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: my kids someday. And I was like, dude, so sweet.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: And then a beat goes by it and he goes,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: or I'll just die with him in my hands, and
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, ess, so your dad is a rapper,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: so this makes sense.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: His dad. My brother in law's name is Dirte, which
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: is you know, yeah, you're that's.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Definitely when your sister comes over and is like, my god,
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: you guys, I'm I met someone special. The next one'
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: out of your mouth usually are I hope it's a
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: semi locally famous rapper named Dirte, and I hope he
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: talks about opening for DMX once all the time. He
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: is a great guy, a huge Hawks fan as well.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Dirte's prediction would be Seahawks twenty six, Vikings twenty one.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: I am going to go. It's gonna be a defensive battle.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Seahawks. Man. Sammy is just on fire too, man,
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: he's he is, like you said, gun slinging. I'm gonna go. See.
